Anyone can learn to draw! I've seen many beginners blossom and gain confidence in drawing from the very first days :)

I teach drawing and painting classes with my partner in our studio in the center of Lausanne. Classes are individual but take place in a group setting, which means you can start at any time of the year. You will follow a program tailored to you, while following the structure of a method created by my partner and myself, which is the fusion of our two approaches and experiences in the field.

Our courses are aimed at adults, teenagers and children from 8 years old.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Drawing is not only a fun activity or a playful occupation to pass the time, but it is also essential for arousing curiosity, helping in cognitive development, motor coordination and improving fine motor coordination.

The practice of drawing, whatever the age of the child, promotes the affirmation of the personality, the development of the imagination and the expression of emotions.

Drawing lessons are also an interesting complement to the art education provided at school and could be an excellent opportunity to strengthen the relationship between art and the child, giving him the opportunity to develop his artistic talent and creative spirit.
